Teachers and staff are invited to peruse the content, join in the discussions and add to the Wiki's resources and thoughts. Thank you in advance for all your input and enthusiasm.

This was published during February 2012 in The Committed Sardine- a newsletter and blog generated each week by Dr Ian Jukes. An interesting article posted by Andrew Churches highlights that a teacher has many roles in the classroom. "The teacher is guide, role model, monitor, and often mediator or arbitrator". (Churches, 2012).

In contrast, have a read of this article - The Sad Reality of Education Technology.


If you are wanting Specific Software Program Training, there are resources via the SOFTWARE Sessions page.

Feedback from the survey has been noted. The "Professional Readings" page will provide links to current research regarding studies done on Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning.

How to create a WIKISPACE:


How to create a WIKISPACE using this platform - Wikispaces Video Channel and Links on YouTube will show you how.

On the right of this HOME page (the main page of a WIKI or website is called the Home Page) are two ways in which this WIKI has been designed. This design can be changed at any time using the "pages and files" tool.

The first section (below the Search Box) is a list of the WIKI Page Titles. For some reason, not ALL the page titles are showing and I will endeavour to correct this in due course.

The second section is a list of KEY WORDS or TAGS that make up the content of this WIKI. The large text (eg digital citizenship) means that a number of pages contain this key word or tag.
